After crews left, Kumar found a weak spot in the panels, made a hole and squeezed out, Bullock told the station. Kumar stayed on top of the mesh of the exhibit for 10 to 15 minutes but went back inside when staff gathered, according to Bullock.

The zoo was put on lockdown during the escape. Visitors were taken to safe areas and the front gate was closed, the station reported.

“Kumar, who has a lot of time on his hands, figured out that the netting wasn’t properly secured,” Greenville City Manager John Castile told the Greenville News.

Kumar is one of the zoo’s signature attractions, according to the Greenville News.

In July, 12-year-old Kumar broke a wire in the netting and climbed on top of the exhibit for about 10 minutes before returning, the Greenville News and other media outlets reported at the time.

Kumar is one of the zoo’s two Sumatran orangutans. The other is Lana, a 32-year-old female, according to the zoo’s website.

He arrived at the zoo in November 2016, shortly after Lana did. Kumar was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, and later lived at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, according to the Greenville News.

Orangutans live until about 30 years old in the wild and 50 years in captivity, according to the Greenville Zoo’s website. Orangutans are considered one of the world’s 25 most endangered primates.
